LP360 is a family of point cloud exploitation tools for both native Windows (“standalone”) and the ArcGIS® desktop platform. LP360 for ArcGIS is the world’s most popular point cloud (such as LIDAR and dense image matching) visualization, editing and information extraction tool set for ArcGIS®. It is available directly from GeoCue Group Inc.1 (www.geocue.com) and…
As taken from the ArcView™ 3.2 Help System The ASCII Raster File format is a simple format that can be used to transfer raster data between various applications. It is basically a few lines of header data followed by lists of cell values. The header data includes the following keywords and values: ncols – number…
As taken from the ArcView™ 3.2 Help System The Binary Raster File format is a simple format that can be used to transfer raster data between various applications. It consists of two files, the IEEE floating-point file and a supporting ASCII header file. The header file must have the same name as the data file,…
In the standalone version of LP360, one may add raster files using the ‘Raster Tab’ of the ‘Add Files’ dialog. Then navigate to the desired Raster file(s). The following are the currently supported raster file formats: TIF (*.tif) JPEG (*.jpg) PNG (*.png) GIF (*.gif) BMP (*.bmp) MrSID (*.sid) JP2000 (*.jp2) ECW (*.ecw) IMG (*img) Binary…
Symptom: Activating an AUT for one or more floating licenses results in an error message “Failed to Start License Server Service (24223)”. Probable Resolution #1: Check the Window Application event log and see if there is an entry around the time of the failed License Server Service start which indicates a .NET Runtime error for the…
Symptom: Receive a message in the lower left corner of LP360 indicating that the “Draw operation failed for at least one layer (23021)”. Probable Resolution: At least one of the layers in your Table of Contents (TOC) is a WMS layer but your project layer has no Current Coordinate System (SRS) or an unknown Current Coordinate…
There are two tools in GeoCue that can be used to update the coordinate reference system information found in the header of an LAS file. Both of these tools are normally found in the Utilities tab of standard LAS Working segment checklists or may be added to your custom checklist using Environment Builder. Update Geocoding…
An important evaluation to make when performing a QAQC analysis of a LIDAR data set is a control point comparison. Typically, this refers to checking the vertical accuracy of a LIDAR data set. In regards to vertical check/control point location: “Unlike horizontal checkpoints, vertical checkpoints are not necessarily required to be clearly defined or readily…
Problem: If you have an older computer with older display drivers then you may notice that every time ArcMap refreshes a raster view, there is a noticeable ‘flash’ as the display updates. This ‘flashing’ can become quite annoying and slow down your processing. Probable Resolution: ArcMap does have a hardware acceleration option for supported layers. If…
Problem: Receive either a “Classify is Complete” or a “ClassifyByGeometry function fails” with an overall message, or by feature messaging, indicating “Geometry not within read/write loaded point extent (10075)”. Probable Resolution: The warning message indicates that the LAS files intersecting with the indicated feature are not open for read/write, hence, no classification based on that…
